MEXICAN FRUIT SALAD
Serves: 12-14 servings
A simple Mexican fruit salad that's spiced up ! I toss my favorites - watermelon, honey dew, pineapple, cantaloupe and of course, mangoes in a light honey-lime and chili flavored dressing! This is the perfect refreshing and healthy treat for all your summer gatherings!
DRESSING:
2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup or agave nectar)
3 tablespoons lime juice
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ -¾ teaspoon ancho chili powder (use more or less to taste)
SALAD:
2 ½ cups honey dew, diced (~½ a melon)
3 cups watermelon, diced (~½ a melon)
3 cups cantaloupe, diced (~1 melon)
2 ½ cups pineapple, diced (~1 pineapple)
1 ½ cups mangoes, diced (~2 mangoes)
INSTRUCTIONS
DRESSING: In a small bowl, combine the honey, lime juice, salt and ancho chili powder to taste. Add additional sweetener if you want it to be sweeter or another pinch of salt if you want it to be a little more salty. Set aside.
ASSEMBLY: In a large bowl, combine the fruit until throughly mixed. Dress the salad with as much or as little of the dressing as you like. Add additional chili powder to taste if desired.
MARZIA'S NOTES
You can replace any/all of the fruit with what you like. I've used diced avocados, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, and orange slices in the past. The possibilities are endless with this fruit salad!
